my laptop battery life is not long it lasts about 1.3 hours and is there any programs to increase the battery life. and one more thing is there a way to find out the actual specs of my laptop and another thing that my laptop's spped is kind of slow is there a software for that and to increase wireless internet connection...help

well, concerning the battery life, I really couldn't help you there until you can post the specs of your lappie for me.

here's where you can get CPU-Z, which can tell you what kind of processor you have, what frequency (MHz or GHz, depending on what hardware we're talking about and its speed) it's running at, and some other major info, like your mobo manufacturer and model (under "mainboard" tab), and also the speed and timings your memory is running at, under the "memory" tab.

anyways, here's the link:

http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php

click on the link under the "Latest Version" heading on the left side of the screen and download it. This is a .zip file, so unzip it and double-click the CPU-Z icon, and you'll have your info, right there in front of you.

Also, is the laptop itself slow, or your connection to the Internet? if it's your connection, are you on a network? What kind of router do you have? also, if you have the router in another building, there could be interference from building to building (buddy of mine has a wireless router and tried to use his lappie out in his outbuilding, which is made of metal, and got mad interference and signal droppage). Pardon the questions but it's the only way I can know what to tell you, lol

The thing about it all too is the battery may be going bad, which you can get a universal battery, costs less than a factory battery......I'm sure others will chime in, this is just my take on this.

If its Centrino based you can use Centrino Hardware Control to set voltages. this can extend your battery life.

Yep,undervolting your cpu can have great benefits in battery life. I've already noticed about a half hour more battery life with mine.

where can we get more batteries for our laptops?? i have the aopen 1558j.

also can someone read the last post back in the official 1558 thread about how rough is too rough. i get nervous carrying my laptop around in my backpack. LOL

Buy.com usually has the 8 cell battery for the aopen 1558j but is out of stock now.

what is undervolting i dont know what it is. i dont have money to buy a battery and for my internet connection i dont have a router my neighboors do and i just get one signal from them. is there a program to make the connection better like a tweak or a hack if any. i really need things to get done without spending any cash. my laptop has 256 ram but toshiba used some of it so now i only have 190.

What notebook model do you have?

oh yea and i also have a dead green pixel on my laptop screen and it iritates the hell out of me and i need suggestions on what is should do or suggestions on what can be done to remove that dead green annoying pixel.

i think it is the toshiba satellite l25

aint nobody got no job, get one . JK, hes got a celeron, is that a centrino ?
